He Told His Sister-In-Law That If She Wanted Her Little Girl To Have An Older Sibling, She Shouldn’t Have Married His Brother, Who Is Nothing But A Deadbeat Dad

If you’re a teenager who has to watch one of your parents go off, remarry, and have more kids, that can be really tough.
One man has been helping care for his brother’s son since his mom died. Now that his brother has remarried and welcomed a new baby, he had to tell his new sister-in-law that his nephew wanted nothing to do with their family.
His brother has an 18-year-old son named Jax, who he had with his late wife. When Jax was five, his mom died, and his brother sent him off to live with his maternal parents. Although his brother dropped out of Jax’s life, he stayed in touch with him and helped Jax’s grandparents raise him.
“I have made an effort to be a big part of his life,” he said.
“I see him as much as possible. He has spent the night at my house several times. He’s my nephew, and I was never going to abandon him the way my brother did.”
Three years ago, his brother remarried, and he now has a two-month-old daughter with his new wife.
When she first found out she was pregnant, his new sister-in-law reached out to him and asked that he give her Jax’s contact information so she could let him know he was going to be a big brother and suddenly invite him back into his father’s life.
What his sister-in-law didn’t know was that he had already updated Jax on everything, including her marriage to his brother and her pregnancy, and Jax expressed that he didn’t want to meet them or get involved in their lives.
“He’s not interested,” he explained.

“He’s felt that way for years, and I respect that. Having a half-sibling [come] into the world means nothing to him. As far as he’s concerned, he will always be an only child because he only has one parent, his mom.”
When he explained this to his sister-in-law, she was confused and wouldn’t take no for an answer. So, when her baby shower rolled around, she found Jax on social media and invited him. Jax never responded to her invitation, so his sister-in-law would vent her frustrations to him. While he tried to ignore her, things worsened once the baby was born.
His sister-in-law contacted Jax once again on social media, so Jax had her blocked and reported. She became very upset and accused Jax of taking out his frustrations on her daughter, who she believes should have her brother in her life.
When his sister-in-law started venting to him about all of this, he couldn’t take it anymore and had an outburst.
“She was getting very blamey toward Jax, and I did not want to hear it,” he recalled.
“I told her if she had wanted her child to have a big brother, then she shouldn’t have married a deadbeat dad [and] she shouldn’t have married my brother because they have zero right to expect Jax to want anything to do with any of them.”
His sister-in-law told him he shouldn’t be getting angry at her as she’s simply a mom trying to do what’s best for her kid.
Did his sister-in-law deserve to get called out, or should he have handled the situation more gently?
